5. Instruccions de funcionament
Follow these steps for proper operation of your Weller PES51 Soldering Pencil:
- Encès: Plug in your soldering station and turn on the power switch.
- Temperatura establerta: Adjust the temperature control on your soldering station to the desired setting within the 350°F to 850°F range. Refer to your solder's specifications for recommended temperatures.
- Escalfar: Allow the soldering pencil to heat up to the set temperature. This typically takes a few minutes. The station's indicator light (if present) may signal when the temperature is reached.
- Estany la punta: Once heated, apply a small amount of solder to the tip of the soldering pencil. This process, known as 'tinning,' helps ensure efficient heat transfer, prevents oxidation, and prolongs tip life.
- Soldadura: Place the heated and tinned tip against both the component lead and the circuit board pad simultaneously to heat them. Once both surfaces are hot enough, apply solder to the heated joint, allowing it to flow smoothly. Do not apply solder directly to the tip.
- Consell net: Periodically clean the tip on a damp esponja o llana de llautó durant el funcionament per eliminar l'excés de soldadura i residus de flux.
- Refredament: After completing your work, turn off the soldering station and allow the pencil to cool completely in its stand before storing.

6. Manteniment
Proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your soldering pencil.
- Neteja de consells: Regularly clean the soldering tip using a damp cellulose sponge or brass wool. This removes oxidized solder and flux residue, which can hinder heat transfer.
- Tip Tinning: Always re-tin the tip with a small amount of fresh solder after cleaning and before storing. This protects the tip from oxidation.
- Substitució de la punta: If the tip becomes heavily pitted, corroded, or no longer accepts solder effectively, it should be replaced. Ensure the soldering pencil is cool and disconnected from the station before attempting to unscrew and replace the tip. Use only genuine Weller replacement tips.
- Inspecció del cable: Periodically inspect the silicone rubber cord for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. If damage is observed, discontinue use and replace the pencil.
- Neteja general: Keep the handle and exterior of the soldering pencil clean and free of debris. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
